2016 is at its close and, 2017 is here. 7 Is our lucky number, so here is our list of our top 7 data disasters and how Catalyst was able to help With in 2016.
We have over a 95% success rate with our in-lab services, see why below:
 |
7. Water Damage at a Fire Call (Germany)A firefighter was fighting a fire when his Nokia Lumia 610 was damaged by water. He lost all of his data including photos of family and friends. Catalyst Data Recovery was asked to help and successfully recovered 732 photos from the phone. |
 |
6. Late (United States)A company was preparing for a new IT infrastructure. The new storage array was waiting to be unpacked and powered up in the server room. The day before connecting it, the old storage array broke down and access to critical data was lost. After few minutes of panic and stress the IT administrator decided not to make the situation worse and called the specialists at Catalyst Data Recovery. Everything ended positively. |
 |
5. Unfortunate Accident (Norway)Catalyst received a call from a person who was in a ferry accident. His camera had been submerged in the water for over a week. Our Data Recovery specialists were able to recover the photos from a corroded memory card. |
 |
4. Bad dog... (United States)A dog mistook a USB flash drive for a chew toy. When the drive arrived at Catalyst, let’s just say it wasn’t ’spit’ out... The dog eventually made it out of the doghouse because all the USB drive data was recovered. |
 |
3. Microsoft® Surface Mystery (United States)Sometimes we don’t get the story behind what happened to a device. Catalyst Data Recovery received this Microsoft® Surface “smashed” into pieces. All that is known is the data recovery was 100 percent successful. (We’re pretty sure someone hit it with a hammer, what do you think?) |
 |
2. Swept Away Server (Bosnia and Herzegovina)A flood in the Balkan countries swept a RAID server 100+ meters from the building it originated in. It took two weeks to locate the server where it had been sitting in water the entire time. Catalyst Data Recovery obtained 100 percent of the data. |
 |
1. Data Under Attack (United States)When data loss is intentional it’s usually with malicious intent. Hackers infiltrated a hotel this year deleting all of the active and backup data for 35 LUNs. Our team of highly-trained engineers worked onsite and remotely to recover all of the data that was lost. |
